Silver in teflon may work for you but made my 45 amp an ear-bleeder. The late, lamented, 28 ga. solid XLO copper in Teflon was just right for signal, to my ears. Still is.
Lately, in my Simple SE I'm using Cardas 23.5ga Litz Wire. It's also going in my current P-P KT-88 project.
Inches of cable do make a difference. Everything makes a difference if the circuit and your ears are any good.
Oh, and the conventional wisdom about using component leads to eliminate wire runs is just plain wrong. I don't spec top quality magnetics and hardware, then use "pot" metal to hook things up. Component leads get cut to the nub and soldered to quality wire, which BTW, doesn't wind up being any longer than the component leads. DUH! (Ignore rant for PCBs)
